    FESTIVAL 48 January 12-16, 2016 KCACTF HAS GONE MOBILE! WELCOME REMARKS Welcome from the Chair of Region II Welcome to Festival 48 at West Chester University, PA. I can’t believe this is already my second year chairing Region II’s Festival. I feel like we just left Cleveland and Playhouse Square. I have been blessed with a wonderful leadership team, all of whom make my life much easier and who create great opportunities for all who attend the festival. We have lots of great workshops planned, performances of plays from around the region, exciting opportunities to explore new plays and the latest in design technology, On top of that, don’t miss the chance to see West Chester’s Shakespeare Folio collection. We have another great venue to host. We are thrilled to return to West Chester University and grateful to our host, and past regional chair, Julie Wunsch. I said it last year and I will say it again. If you aren’t worn out and filled with the theatre joy by the end of the festival, you just aren’t trying. Please take advantage of all we have to offer and enjoy everything you do this week. We’re glad you’re here Region II’s Festival 48 festival. Scott MacKenzie Chair, KCACTF Region 2 Welcome from the President of West Chester University Welcome to West Chester University!

  • ITI Centerpiece
    CENTERPIECE FOCUS ON: INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS . I NTERNATIONAL P ROGRAMMING IN A MERICAN T HEATRES F INDINGS F ROM A N ATIONAL S URVEY B Y M ICHAEL J OHNSON-CHASE INTRODUCTION In 1999, Theatre Communications Group (TCG) and the U.S. Center of the International Theatre Institute (ITI) began a process of consolidating ITI into TCG’s organizational mission. By 2003, the transition was complete. Since then, TCG has been working to clarify its own international agenda, the role it will play with ITI worldwide and the extent to which internationalism is important to U.S. regional theatres. A survey about international issues and how they are emerging in the future plans of TCG member theatres was conducted by email in June of 2005 and 106 theatres responded. Survey questions included plans for importing or exporting international productions, the use of international guest artists, interest in translations and collaborative projects and plans for attending international festivals. Because some of the questions solicited information in a narrative form, we have chosen to list participating theatres so we can publish the entirety of their responses. We are grateful for the time, candor and assistance of the theatres that chose to participate. A complete list of participating theatres can be found at the end of the Centerpiece.

It is the voice of the individual that deepens knowledge and broadens cultural awareness. This is why, at the Trust for Mutual Understanding, we are more committed than ever to creating opportunities for travel and exchange across borders. Within the pages of our 2010 Annual Report is a selection of just a few of the magnificent voices of TMU’s grantees. You can hear their passion. Whether a dancer in Budapest, a musician in Georgia, or a team of climate researchers in Siberia, these individuals share expertise and perspectives that result in real change. They bring home new ways of thinking and the realization that our commonalties far outweigh our differences. These are the individuals who will lead us forward in addressing the critical issues of our time: profound ecological shifts and increasing restrictions on individual freedom and expression. Time is of the essence; thus on behalf of the Board of Trustees and the staff of TMU, please join us in saluting and supporting the people and organizations who dare to make a difference. Thank you.
